Body Ecology Probiotic Protein Shake
Brand: Body Ecology · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Body Ecology Probiotic Protein Shake contains calcium as an ingredient. Based on the data provided, we can assess this mineral's role, but we cannot evaluate the full product's effectiveness due to missing information on other ingredients. The data confirms that calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It works through bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals to maintain strong bone density, and supports neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for Body Ecology Probiotic Protein Shake is not provided. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is cautious. Because we lack complete ingredient data and specific safety reports for this product, you should consult your healthcare provider before using it. If you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, note that calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Without full details on this shake's formulation, we cannot give a confident endorsement.
